Answer:

12

Explanation:

Let x = number of 50.00 notes.

They are worth 50x

Then, 2x = number of 20.00 notes.

They are worth 2x * 20 = 40x

50x + 40x < 1100

90x < 1100

9x < 110

x < 12.2

Answer: 12

Check:

x = 12 (number of 50.00 notes)

2x = 24 (number of 20.00 notes)

12 * 50 + 24 * 20 = 1080

If she used one more 50.00 note, she'd go over 1,100, so 12 is correct.
